Upton Sinclair, the socialist, is quoted as saying he is now a good democrat. A distinction without a difference, the way the wind is blowing. } President Roosevelt has been more ! friendly’to labor than any other president, but demands for more benefits have been inereasing, and when not complied with, trikes were the result. Al Smith is reported as drawn back into his shell the past year. From intelli- gent wisecracks shot out by him at inter- vals concerning the New Deal government, | the shell isn’t that of a nut. This topsy-turvy world makes us; dizzy. Formerly one got paid for working, now one gets paid. for not working. One also gets money for not raising things in- stead of getting paid for raising them. 0, O. McIntyre, the calumnist who doesn't like Key West, is at it again. Among minor enthusiasms he cites: “Har- vard, movie shor's, save animated car- toons, Key West, Fla., and bow ties.” And just think, he was molded in Gallipolis, Ohio, Trading must be reciprocal to be fair. When one business concern buys goods from another, everything this business has is behind the obligation to pay, and _ if} goods are not taken in return, then in honesty the obligation must be paid never- theless and assets must be sold until this is accomplished. This works to the dis- advantage of the honest business man. j H , West mosquitoes are quite harm- less and not noxious unless one gets in their way or annoys them.—Key West Citizen.

Qt Su SET ae Bs ee : When a person has stock in a business ! and that busifess pays no dividends, and, nevertheless, he i: corded no preferential con idovkiion in the matter of required purchases, he must feel like Hawaii, which, though an integral part of the! United States, is placed on a par with | Cuba, in tariff matters, republic though the island is a sovereign state, and in no sense a part of the United States, The latest development is the FERA policy of giving Federal relief bounties to strikers, which amounts virtually to “un- derwriting force.” It will be strange if workers seek to keep their jobs when they ean strike and get paid for not working. The textile union chiefs announced openly in advance of their strike call that the strikers would get support from the gov- ernment, using this as an incentive to the to walk out while millions of | s seek employment. / and most complicated development among ! | —never do anything SFE EPL TOO TEE OECE EOL EL EEEET EE CTE CLEOPR E LH PECULIAR CUSTOMS Among the curious customs which have influenced mankind, one of the most! j interesting, and often amusing, is that sys- | tem of religious prohibitions known as taboo. This system attained its fullest the native island inhabitants of Polynesia, from Hawaii to New Zealand, but its | traces may be discovered in most parts of | the world, even among supposedly civilized | peoples. | The word “taboo” in its ordinary sense means set apart, or sacred, and the } persons or things so set apart were usually | designated by kings, chiefs and priests. i Certain periods of religious cere- monies were marked by strict taboos, dur- | ing which all fires and lights were extin- guished, no canoe was launched, no one} bathed, no dog might bark, no pig grunt, | no cock crow. The animals were caused to observe the taboo by having their} mouths tied up. In New Zealand the places | great chiefs had rested were taboo or} sacred, and fences were placed around the spots, so no one might tread thereon. It was believed that as a penalty for the violation of certain taboos the offender would swell up and die, but the priests were able to prevent such dire con-| sequences by performing certain mystical | ceremonies, for a suitable fee. Violations { of a taboo were often punished by death , or at least by a sort of judicial robbery, whereby the unlucky violator was despoiled of all his property. e are only a few of the innumer- able strange customs associated with the taboo and its attendant superstitions. But | if we will but look around us we may dis cover beliefs and customs in vogue toda which are not far removed from those of | the native Polynesians, so far as rationality is concerned. THE ABC OF SAFETY where | ' The cause of safety has a very simple and important A. B. C. The letters mean —Always Be Careful. That motto should govern conduct inj every home, in every place of business— | arid especially in every automobile. Be- cause it is constantly violated, thousands of people die needlessly each year, 33,000 of them in motor accidents alone, and property damage runs into the billions. In no other nation do accidents take so great a toll. There is nothing difficult about j “playing safe.” The main thing to re- member is to never take a needless chance | unnecessarily that } might lead to injury. An automobile driver, for example, can probably pass cars on curves nine hundred and_ ninety- nine times without anything happening. On the thousandth time he may kill and maim and injure. The element of risk is always there—a little thought will reduce it to a minimum. There is no greater and ab- solute waste than that caused by accidents. No kind of waste possesses less justifica- tion—the unavoidable accident is so rare} as to be almost non-existent. Nearly every accident is caused because someone was!/ reckless, careless, ignorant. Remember the A. B. C. of safety—and you will be doing your part to eliminate hazards that menace every citizen. more TWO HEALTHY GIRLS é : | Last December the judges of a con- test held in Chicago by a_ national live- stock exposition to find the healthiest girl in the United States stumped. Two} of the contestants were so equally perfect that after much inspection and d the judges decided to eall it a tie. The two girls were Clista Millspaugh of Mount Pleasant, Ia., and Shirley Drew of Fayette, Mo., who won their honors in competition with hundreds of girls rep- resenting all sections of the country. It is somewhat remarkable that in a similar contest held a few days ago at the were scussion Century of Progress the same two girls! were again adjudged the finest specimens | of healthy young females, among other | hundreds entered in the nation-wide com- petition. But this time the judges did not declare a tie, They awarded first place to Miss Millspaugh, and second place to Mis Drew. | | When asked the inevitable questions about her life and habits, Miss Millspaugh said: “I eat all kinds of food we have on the farm and I get lots of work, play and sleep. I love to milk cows, piteh hay, ride | horses, and play baseball and basketball.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN LA eA SE OE ppg ey TATED The exhibit of the State of Florida at the World’s| Florida temperatures maintained at all times. in addl- Fair is one of the most perfect portrayals ever seen | tion to this section of the main entrance to the anywhere.

Business men and women from everywhere car see the exhibit with high Interest and with profit, for it} , will teach them a great deal about} exhBiting their own wares. President Rufus ©. Dawes of Al Century of Progress made that ex- pression today following a trip through the Florida exhibit with a party of criends. He has shown a high interest in it since the open- ing of A Century of Progress and has counseled al! of his friends to see it, “Heretofore,” said Mr. “1 have made my thanks to Gc ernor David Sholtz and the mem- bers of his commission and to the able staff of the exhibit, and 1 now wish to thank all of the people f t they have done.

It is a complete, self-contained showing of Florida, with the segments blending so har- moniously that there is no one ex- hibit standing out from the others. ‘The architecture on one side of the exhibit hall is Spanish and on the other classical, with the balconies of the two house-fronts making bal- couies for the exhibit room, The balconies are extended around each end of the exhibit hall, In the rear is a tropical garden with over seven hundred varieties of Florida plants, It is housed in celogl: a new product that is a variation of glass, in that it con- tains no lead, and thus admits the ultra-violet rays of the sun, giv- the vegetation a natural sun- .
